The activist courts are at it again. This time the sanctity of life of an unborn is in questioned. Depending on who terminates the life of the unborn the judgment could vary form a slap on the hand to life in prison.

Last month the Supreme Court of Hawaii ruled in favor of a pregnant woman charged with killing her unborn child by ingesting crystal methamphetamine shortly before his birth. Tayshea Aiwohi, who was found guilty in connection with the death of her newborn son was found not-guilty by the high court because they ruled an unborn child was not a "person" when Tayshea was smoking the drugs, therefore, she could not be prosecuted for harming the infant in her womb.

Was this court asleep at the bench? A new-born baby dies because of his mother’s actions, and yet the mother walks away a free person.

Interestingly, while pregnant mothers are shielded from prosecution for their own detrimental behavior, others are not. Under the new, federal Unborn Victims of Violence Act, people other than the mother who cause the death of an unborn child can face prosecution for the baby’s demise. This act, also known as "Laci and Conner’s Law," was enacted in the wake of the murder of Laci Peterson of Modesto, Calif., and her unborn son by her husband Scott Peterson.

This is a double standard that deserves attention and correction. The message is it is alright for a mother to kill her unborn baby.

Last June, Gerardo Flores of Texas was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to life in prison after kicking his pregnant girlfriend repeatedly in the stomach to cause her to lose the couple’s twins. The girlfriend, Erica Basoria, did not want the babies to be born and allowed Flores to kick her, but she was not charged with any wrongdoing by the state of Texas.

Who is to say that Tayshea Aiwohi’s boyfriend did not force or encourage her to take the crystal methamphetamine?

It has become a bad omen when death of a helpless newborn is justified by our courts. And this precedent is not good for the pro-life groups.
